It is significant to develop a flexible rubber as haptic sensor because artificial outer skin on a robot is made of rubber. The rubber skin might be ideal if it has hybrid functions. It is feasible to have the rubber many functions involving Piezo- and photovoltaic effects, and capacitance by utilizing a magnetic compound fluid (MCF) into a diene-type rubber, natural rubber (NR) or chloroprene rubber (CR). In addition, at the fabrication of the sensor with using MCF rubber, the adhesion of electrodes or electric wires on the rubber is so important that the conductivity between the rubber and the electrodes should not be reduced. This paper presents not only the new adhesion technique between rubber and metal but the fabrication of the rubber sensor.
